At year end 2007, had already booked a meeting in Tuscany, unfortunately, in November, I underwent an intervention at the hospital for gall bladder UD, so I had to cancel the booking, after a short convalescence, he decided to leave it alone also being a closed number at the rally in Tuscany there was no room, reading the internet I found an alternative: a rally organized by the campers to Sicily to Adrano a village on the slopes of Etna in the province of Catania, I mold program and sending the deposit.
Unfortunately, this meeting was not organized in the best possible way, there were many discrepancies between what was listed in the program and trend real.
Before arriving in Sicily, we stopped in Castiglione del Lago, invited for Christmas, relatives of Tina, my wife.
After a great Christmas Binge, continue to the south, by force is the SA / RC, torment all travelers arrive at Adrano, not for highway and expressway, but with normal road, panoramic, but, in the making ' water and the dark has been quite an adventure for the slippery and bumpy.

"If reservations will be at least 100 people will make the rounds of Etna by train Circumetnea (€ 7 a head) ... ... .. will continue by bus to visit pretty villages and there will be wine-tasting ... .... We could have lunch with € 8 ... ... "

A foot and throughout Adrano to catch the train, very interesting Randazzo, Linguaglossa was insignificant, no lunch was booked only a few have managed to eat at the station restaurant, some of us have had to make do with stale bread or pizza.
On his return is expected to Randazzo for an hour and a half to get back to the coincidence Adrano.
No bus, no winery, no lunch.
All this because it has reached 100 people, the organizer has here mistaken:
1) would have warned of these changes in the program, many would not come, or would have shielded the packed lunch with sandwiches, etc. ...
2) Having reached the 100 participants, they should communicate what you had to pay the difference to get what was listed in the program and accept what the majority would decide.
It 'been a day wasted.

Coming back

We continued the tour with others, unfortunately, to Tina, my wife, fell an old bridge of teeth, so we were forced to return, now the dentist will redo it all with a great expense and considerable suffering.
Before leaving Sicily, we were in Montemaggiore Belsito (PA) to visit relatives across the Madonie, the temple has helped us so he can be admired in all its majesty of these beautiful mountains.
